Hi,
I am logging on for the first time although I was DX back in 2002 and have been on glivec for 5 years now. It's been going very very well - all tests clear for some time.
But for a year or so my blood calcium levels have been getting low and my consultant says they are investigating this at Barts. I've been taking OTC Calcium and calcium/Glucosamine pills for some time which are keeping blood levels just about okay - I am very bad at noting down the specific details sorry.
The cramps have been a problem (especially if I drink too much) but taking the calucium and, even better, possibly, the calcium/Glucosine seem to have really made a good difference.
Has anyone else had the same problem and tried anything else (apart from the obvious at more cheese/milk products etc which is just not enough I feel).
Lovely to meet you all - I can't believe I've not logged on before.
